Stampin' Up "Harvest Blessings" Card with 'Country Home" Stamp Set

Today I'm continuing with autumn-themed cards with the "Come to Gather" DSP from the 2019 Holiday catalog while adding the "Country Home" photopolymer stamp set from the Stampin' Up 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.

The card design (from a sketch I've used before), came together quickly, so I was able to spend more time coloring the image as I binged TV episodes on Amazon Prime's Britbox Channel. (In case you are interested, I was watching the BBC series, The Coroner, which I can certainly recommend!)

How to make this card: 

1. Cut Very Vanilla cardstock, one 3-7/8" x 5-1/8"(for image), one approximately 3"x 5"(for die-cutting), one 7/8"x 2-7/8"(for sentiment) and one standard card base.
2. Cut Pretty Peacock cardstock, one 4"x 5-1/4", one 1"x 3" and one approximately 3-1/2"x 5-1/2" (for die-cutting). 
3. Cut 2 pieces of Mint Macaron cardstock, 1-5/8"x 4-1/8" each. 
4. Cut 2 pieces of the Gathered "Come to Gather" Designer Series Paper, 1-1/2"x 4" each.
5. Cut a matching ribbon of your choice, approximately 8".
6. Using the largest Stitched Nested Label die, cut the Pretty Peacock cardstock.
7. Using the second largest Stitched Nested Label die, cut the Very Vanilla cardstock.
8. Stamp the sentiment on the small piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with Soft Suede ink.
9. Two-step stamp the container and flowers on the die-cut Very Vanilla cardstock with Soft Suede ink and color with matching watercolor pencils.
10. When coloring is complete, use the Blender Pen to carefully blend coloring. (TIP: blend one color on the image at a time, and wipe the tip on a paper towel before starting another color.)
11. Assemble the layers as shown: Pretty Peacock on the card base with Very Vanilla on top, Designer Series Paper on Mint Macaron, sentiment and image on Pretty Peacock cardstock.
12. Assemble the layers as shown with adhesive. (TIP: after assembling bottom layers, lay down the ribbon in the middle of the Very Vanilla and use a couple small glue dots it in a couple spots to keep it from moving.  Adhere the Mint Macaron layers on top, then tie the ribbon.) 
13. Use Stampin' Up Dimensionals for the image layer and adhere the sentiment to the bottom of the image layer.
